    2 of us [relative novices] escaped with a few minutes to spare and had a great time. Some fun horror themed touches. We were able to do most puzzles without hints but required a few. Game master was great and obviously passionate about the room. Gotta give a shout-out to whoever played before us and messed with the props enough to warrant additional rules/notices and made us hesitant to move things around lol.

    2 of us escaped this room with basically 30 seconds left. This is the second room we’ve done together and I’ve done 2 more outside of LA (so we’re experienced but not experts). Though we ended up cutting it close, I still think 2 was an okay number since there’s no puzzle that’s more than 2-handed really, but 3 or 4 people might get you out faster. It was labeled hard so we expected to not make it out and to be fair, we required hints in the later half. (Thank you to our GM whose name I’m sorry I forgot but was great and working solo on a holiday!) The first half we pretty much breezed through (it’s fairly intuitive and if you’ve done escape rooms before or do puzzles often some actions will be familiar to you) but it was fun and immersive and the theming was great (sound effects, props, puzzle designs). Good amount of puzzles and some good variety of puzzles too. Possibly because of age/overuse there were a few small mechanical things (we didn’t realize we did a puzzle right bc we didn’t hear something else open, stuff like that) but it was mostly pretty smooth. Because of the theme, the lighting is very low, some of the puzzles required some genuine squinting. So just prepare yourself for that aspect! I would recommend this room for sure. It’s not scary btw, just has some ghostly sound effects and skeletal props, but not much in the jump scare arena (which personally I like).
